Abstract :
In this study, we re-examined a
collection from IRAN herbarium that was identified
as Erysiphe deutziae on Deutzia gracilis. Precise
morphological studies supplemented with rDNA
ITS sequencing disclosed that the powdery mildew
on this collection is a member of the genus
Arthrocladiella. Moreover, re-examination of host
plant confirmed that host plant has been
misidentified and it belongs to the genus Lycium.
Arthrocladiella is a monotypic member of family
Erysiphaceae (Ascomycota, Helotiales), which has
only been reported from Lycium spp. (Solanaceae).
According to our findings, Arthrocladiella
mougeotii infects Lycium sp. in Iran and is reported
as a new genus for Iranian Mycobiota.
